Che cosa ti ispira e qual è la visione del design della tua attività?

BuyerZone.comÂ matches business buyers and suppliers in over 125 product and services categories. Potential Buyers are invited to detail their purchasing needs - after filling out and submitting a simple request for quotation form they areÂ matchedÂ withÂ multiple suppliers, who will contactÂ them within two business days. In addition we offer our visitors an alternative route, by leading them to our suppliers' microsites.

This contest targets improvement ofÂ the entire inquiry process, by redesigning landing pages, question sets, registration and confirmation pages. The product category we'veÂ selected for this contest is Credit Card Processing. The current (dummy) page is located here:http://www.buyerzone.com/design-con…ple-1.html

WeÂ expect you to include all elements of our conversion funnel:
1. The landing page, including the directory listings
2. The question set
3. The registration page
4. The confirmation page
You're allowed to merge the landing page with the subsequent full question set and / or registration page.

The following design principles apply:
> Use the BuyerZone logo, and include the "about us" and "privacy policy links" on the landing page, as well the supplier logos and checkboxes.
> Use all questions, including the ones on the registration pageÂ and please don't reword the questionsÂ - you are allowed to change the order though
> Please follow our value proposition andÂ keep in mind that our typical ad copy reads as follows:

> Please keep in mind that we're looking for a design that is scalable: if succesful in our user tests the design template should be easy to implement in all of our product and services categories. For an overview, please visit http://www.buyerzone.com
> Please use stock images
> Format: Initial entries can be GIF, JPG, PNG, PDF - as long as they are hi-res enough to see clearly. We'll need the winning design as a PSD
> Please don't stick to the current look and feelÂ - despite the restrictions there is a lot of room for change, including merging the first three pages, changing (the position of) the page marketing copy (headline, taglines), changing the image(s),Â etc.
